It's great to see one of my Flickr contacts become the Democratic Presidential nominee...That's right...Barack Obama is on Flickr!I stumbled across his name on my homepage a couple weeks ago, added him as a contact, and got a nice message in return...

Thanks for taking the time to look at Barack's photos on Flickr, chpaquette! We appreciate your support--let's keep up this great energy!-Annie @ Obama HQ

Everyday, Annie is posting photos from the campaign onto the Obama Flickr account. It is a fascinating look at the day to day moments and events. As of today, Barack has over 4700 Flickr contacts. To me this is just one small example of the brilliant grassroots connection the Obama campaign has made with all types of people across this country.
